I started an essay series at @regenfoundation to unpack what it means when we peg economic value to ecological regeneration. The ethical and technical challenges are vibrant and complex. I’m releasing the first essay “Undualing” soon. Here’s a rant 🧵 to whet your palates. 1/8

Some notes for Joe Manchin:
1. DC Statehood does NOT require a constitutional amendment. Congress CAN grant 700,000 Americans a vote & fair representation.
2. You said you don't support #ForThePeopleAct as written, but you co-sponsored it in 2019. What gives @Sen_JoeManchin?
NEW: Joe Manchin has come out AGAINST the DC statehood bill, dealing a major blow in a 50-50 Senate.

It took nearly 3 weeks for the National Capital Region to go from 0 to 1,000 cases of COVID-19. It took 3 days for the region to go from 1,000 to 2,000 cases in DC, MD, and VA. This is a rapidly evolving and escalating emergency which is now surrounding the nation’s capital.

Following my last article, here's a different way of looking at COVID19 in each country and state. The implications require swift action. systrom.com/blog/the-us-just…

Bravo!
South Korea 🇰🇷 has set up ‘phone booths’ that can test people for the coronavirus in just 7 minutes. The country has earned praise for its mass testing amid the Covid19 pandemic.

This seems like a good time to mention that Abraham Lincoln held a free and fair election in the middle of a civil freaking war.

📍 The map is live. Same idea as the spreadsheet but you'll now be able to visualize every new case in the DC area by location and get a breakdown by county.
Like the sheet, it's a work in progress—anything you'd like to see, give me a shout.

Facts: The Obama administration tested 1 million people for H1N1 in the first month after the first US diagnosed case.
The first US #coronavirus case was 50+ days ago. And we haven't event tested 10,000 people yet.

2/ With less than 2,000 cases of #COVID19 in the US many people think we are already over-reacting. Wrong. We are under-reacting. The truth is there have been countless patients US ER docs have wanted to test, but haven’t been able to: inquirer.com/health/coronavi…

Key: members were floored as they learned that roughly just 11,000 Coronavirus tests TOTAL have been conducted compared to the fact that in South Korea, 10,000 tests are conducted A DAY. cnn.com/2020/03/12/politics/…

After a big spike in #coronavirus cases over the past couple days, the U.S. is now at the same number as Italy was 10 days ago.

In the midst of all this, we’re about to cut food stamps for 700,000 people
.@SecretarySonny says SNAP time limits for able-bodied adults will tighten as scheduled on April 1 despite concern about economic impact of COVID-19. Tougher application of the 90-day limit on benefits is expected to end SNAP for 700,000 people. bit.ly/2TVCSVx @FERNnews

The lack of testing should be a career ending mistake. I’ve never seen Dow futures plummet like that when a President speaks. People need testing, social distancing, beds, respirators, good advice, food, paid leave, oxygen tanks, and scientific integrity, not a payroll tax cut.
